EcoSorb ® BXB
extruded coal based activated carbon
EcoSorb ® BXB is a very high activity extruded activated carbon manufactured by
steam activation from select grades of anthracite coal. This activated carbon is
exceptionally hard and resistant to mechanical breakdown due to a unique binding
®
BXB has been
and extrusion process used during manufacturing. EcoSorb
specifically developed for the recovery of solvents. It exhibits a high adsorption
capacity giving prolonged adsorption cycles, which coupled with low steam
consumption rates during the regeneration cycle, results in a low total operating
cost. EcoSorb ® BXB is also suitable for VOC adsorption in air treatment processes
as well as for purification of industrial and natural gas.
